TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: A.J. Wilson, Interim City Administrator
Originator: Kristen Enomoto, Deputy City Administrator
RE: Housekeeping Item Related to Appointment of the City Administrator as the
Municipal Employee Relations Representative
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") review because it is a continuing administrative activity that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not
constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve and adopt a resolution to appoint the City Administrator to serve as the
Municipal Employee Relations Representative.
Background
Section 2.8 of the Vernon Municipal Code requires the City Council to appoint the Municipal
Employee Relations Representative ("MERR") by resolution to serve in said capacity and be
responsible for the performance of all duties and obligations provided for in the City's
Employer -Employee Relations Resolution (Resolution No. 4027).
On February 20, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9248 appointing the Acting City
Administrator as the MERR (Attachment 1).
In preparation for upcoming labor negotiations, it is recommended that the City Council take this
opportunity to do a little housekeeping and repeal Resolution No. 9248 and adopt a new
resolution appointing the City Administrator (including, in the absence of a permanent City
Administrator, the appointed Interim or Acting City Administrator) to serve as the MERR
(Attachment 2).
